Myleene Klass hosted Classic FM Live at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall on Monday. 

The 48-year-old TV star looked stunning in a pale blue gown. The dress featured a fitted top with a sweetheart neckline and a long, flowing skirt.

Klass’ outfit included pearl details and a high slit in her skirt as she posed for photos outside the beautiful, old building.

The singer, formerly of Hear’Say, completed her outfit with glamorous chandelier earrings and very high platform shoes.

Klass is leading the event alongside fellow Classic FM host Dan Walker. The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra will perform well-known pieces like Rossini’s William Tell overture, selections from Bizet’s Carmen, and music from the movie E.T. by John Williams.

Claudia-Liza Vanderpuije, who previously appeared on Channel 5, went to a tribunal to accuse a former colleague, Walker, of bullying and sexist behavior.

The 47-year-old presenter was photographed arriving at the London Tribunal Centre wearing a cream blazer and black leggings. She was there for the first day of what’s expected to be a five-week employment hearing.

Ms. Vanderpuije is filing claims against Walker, age 49, as well as ITN (the producer of Channel 5 News) and its parent company, Paramount.

The former BBC Breakfast host denies all the allegations.

As a long-time viewer, I was really surprised to hear what Nana Akua Vanderpuije had to say. It’s just after she left Channel 5, where she’d been a presenter for over five years – and for the last year, she was alongside Alan Walker, who was a fantastic addition to the team when he joined in 2023. It was a real win for the channel at the time!

Last week, Jonathan Coad, the lawyer for Vanderpuije and formerly for Phillip Schofield, released a statement speaking on her behalf.

Claudia-Liza believes she was unfairly made redundant after reporting racism, sexism, bullying, and a generally toxic work environment at the Channel 5 Newsroom. She claims her reports, made as a whistleblower, also suggested the news coverage itself reflected this problematic culture.

She claims that ITN and Channel 5 attempted to conceal a racist environment within Channel 5 News, and that they allowed this to continue even though it violated their legal responsibilities.

Because of the upcoming trial, Claudia-Liza isn’t allowed to discuss her accusations publicly right now.

Walker, a married father of three, strongly refutes the accusations against him. He has collected over 50 statements from people who vouch for his good character, including athletes, Olympic competitors, BBC staff, and professional colleagues.

According to a source, Dan strongly rejects accusations of sexism, misogyny, racism, or bullying, which have been a concern for him for several years.

‘Nobody wants this but he will be there to tell the judge the truth.

Many people will testify about Dan’s good character. He’s been overwhelmed by the number of people offering their support.

‘He has been stunned and actually very upset to be accused of such things.’

In April 2024, Walker, a deeply religious man, was fully cleared of wrongdoing after an investigation into allegations of serious misconduct at his workplace.

People involved in the investigation say there wasn’t enough proof to back up the allegations, and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Walker fully cooperated with the inquiry.

A recent report stated that Vanderpuije shared email conversations while she was restricted from the newsroom after filing a complaint in 2024. However, she lost the backing of most of her coworkers, who continue to support Walker.

According to The Times, the argument escalated to the point where ITN’s CEO, Rachel Corp, prohibited Vanderpuije from entering the newsroom.

She shared their email conversation with many of her coworkers after Vanderpuije’s reaction.
